AboutRichmond Raceway
Is Richmond Raceway America's longest short-track, or its shortest superspeedway? Either way you look at it, Richmond embodies the characteristics of both and is a rocket-fast challenge to every driver who competes on the three-quarter-mile oval. Racers from the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series find that Richmond requires both power and handling. To win here, you've got to have it all.
Richmond Raceway started out as a half-mile dirt track on the Richmond fairgrounds, first hosting race cars in 1953 under the name Strawberry Hill Speedway. Fifty years and four track configurations later there are 112,000 grandstand seats, and since 1991 all major events have been held in the evening, under the lights. Alongside its extensive NASCAR history, top-tier open-wheel sanctioning bodies like INDYCAR and USAC have also put on phenomenal events on the Richmond oval over the years.
